He did?

Maybe I'm old and blind, but nothing in the thread was even remotely related to air in the lines.............everything was glow plug..........glow plug.........glow plug..........etc.

Maybe you ought to fill in the details that were discussed via PM or telephone that are clearly not on the thread.

I'm kinda doubting the glow plug being my problem now. How can you tell if it's fuel and not heat that you need? I also had some issues with my secondary fuel pump that are now corrected. So, there was some air in the lines but that should be gone by now I would have thought after all the cranking.

I read this part of his problem, and decided he must have run dry on one of his fuel tanks... and this was the case.
I told him how to crack the injector lines, and crank until fuel comes out free of air, and see if it fires up.
